About this listen

Joel Foster is a hapless twenty-something. His girlfriend, Beth Lewis, would likely have been a hapless twenty-something, too, had she not been obliterated by a very large cement truck. Some time after Beth’s tragic death, Joel is still trying to juggle grief with the world of modern dating. And while he still feels like a widower, he has to find a new love before three years is up.

The catch? Just as Joel thinks he’s finally falling for someone, he starts getting haunted by Beth.

It’s not a ghost story, it’s a love story. With ghosts.

Loved this story, not often a writer can convey humour as well as this! Made me think about life a little. The narrator was fabulous. Great book!

Funny and heartfelt
